Heroic Games Launcher has been improving a lot, now having install scripts like Lutris, more platforms available, and a lot less janky than it used to be.

Bottles I don’t have much experience with for games, but it’s a really good program a lot of people use, and if you like Libadwaita apps it’s pretty amazing.

If you only need Lutris as a game launcher (rather than the install scripts, WINE/Proton-GE, and such), Cartridge is a nice little GTK4/Libadwaita launcher too. But it is just that - a launcher, nothing more.

Yeah I get that SteamOS wouldn’t, but Valve themselves have explicitly stated people should use Flatpaks, not distro repos or Snaps (perhaps with an exception for Arch repos if what you say is correct).

Seems very weird to me.

I assumed this was already the case but regardless this is a great change!

I hope more developers get their apps verified. It boggles my mind that the Steam flatpak isn’t verified, for example (even more bizarre is that Valve encourage people to use the Steam flatpak despite it being unofficial!)

Hopefully the Flathub website, Gnome, Cinnamon, and now Plasma showing verified app status will be the kick up the arse devs need.

That’s interesting.

I’m not sure what the real-world difference will be, since Fedora already seemingly puts just as much effort into Plasma as they do Gnome, but even as a symbolic move it’s pretty cool.

Yes, Gnome and KDE have some level of commercial backing.

They still operate on a budget of hundreds of thousands.

Microsoft operates on a budget of tens of billions.

Additionally, don’t Gnome and KDE already have this feature?

E: yes. Gnome at the very least has had this for a long time. I’m struggling to find info on Plasma, as when I search for it I mainly just find endless bug reports (half of it Nvidia-related) clouding the results.

I was just banned from lemmy.ml for not enthusiastically supporting Russia/Putin on the .ml version of this community, which has this same submission lol.

Let’s hope this discussion doesn’t also get brigaded with people supporting the Russian state.

Because Russia has invaded another country and is currently committing a genocide. Christ 🤦‍♀️

You absolutely were using it in that sense.

There is literally nowhere on planet earth where humans live in any large number where you will not find Nazis.

Claiming that Ukraine is rife with it in any meaningful sense is very much a Russian talking point, and even one of the defenses given by Russia in starting their war/genocide.

Stop repeating Russian propaganda.

Honestly, what is it with lemmy.ml and people who love Russia?
